Talk Python To Me

A podcast on Python and related technologies


Latest episode:
#504 Developer Trends in 2025

What trends and technologies should you be paying attention to today? Are there hot new database servers you should check out? Or will that just be a flash in the pan? I love these forward looking episodes and this one is super fun. I've put together an amazing panel: Gina Häußge, Ines Montani, Richard Campbell, and Calvin Hendryx-Parker. We dive into the recent Stack Overflow Developer survey results as a sounding board for our thoughts on rising and falling trends in the Python and broader developer space.

ty: Astral's New Type Checker (Formerly Red-Knot)

The folks over at Astral have made some big-time impacts in the Python space with uv and ruff. They are back with another amazing project named ty. You may have known it as Red-Knot. But it's coming up on release time for the first version and with the release it comes with a new official name: ty. We have Charlie Marsh and Carl Meyer on the show to tell us all about this new project.

Agentic AI Workflows with LangGraph

If you want to leverage the power of LLMs in your Python apps, you would be wise to consider an agentic framework. Agentic empowers the LLMs to use tools and take further action based on what it has learned at that point. And frameworks provide all the necessary building blocks to weave these into your apps with features like long-term memory and durable resumability. I'm excited to have Sydney Runkle back on the podcast to dive into building Python apps with LangChain and LangGraph.

What listeners think

Exceptional
One of the best developer related podcasts, assuming you work in Python.

Awesome Python Goodness
This is the podcast that got me into listening to nearly only technical ones. All the episodes are fun and informative, and I can't recommend it enough for every Pythonista (and others).

Great Python Podcast
Talk Python To Me is in the rotation of podcasts that I listen to on a regular basis. The guests are always interesting. The topics are quite often relevant to things I'm working on or thinking about. Michael, the host, also keeps things moving at a good pace and keeps the conversation lively. I also enjoy his "regular questions" at the end of the show. Always good to hear how other folks answer those questions!
